July 9 – Day 9 – Charleston to Georgetown SC
St Johns Yacht Harbor Marina
32°45′12″ N 80°0′46″
We left the marina at 7:00am this morning & are headed to Georgetown, SC. This will be a fairly long run – about 66 nm.
There was a big lightning storm last night followed by strong winds & a steady rain. It was good to be tied up to a dock.
It’s a nice day today with scattered clouds & little or no rain forecast.
Just a few minutes after we cast off we went through a very narrow channel called “Elliott’s Cut”
The current was very strong but thankfully there was lots of water under our keel.
The homes on each bank through the cut were very impressive.
We have now travelled about 271 nm since leaving Jacksonville FL. Other than the high temperatures & humidity it’s been a great trip. I hope the rest of it goes as well as it has to this point.
Here’s a photo of a page from the Waterway Guide we are referring to frequently along the way. It shows several of the places we have stopped at so far.
Cheers!
